I recently created this Art Deco Style 'Save The Date Newspaper Postcard' for this adorable couple who got engaged in a photo booth! What a creative engagement and these save the dates are such a great way to share the fun story and photos from the proposal with friends and family! A great way to set up the vintage vibe for their wedding day as well!

I thought I would put together another feature post of a few of the recent Newspaper Programs I have been working on. As you can see from the samples below these newspaper programs fit many different styles and wedding themes and locations!

If you choose to order a Mini newspaper Wedding Program for your big day it will be completely custom and will show off your story, personalities, wedding theme and so much more!

Anelise & Michael were having an outdoor
evening wedding in the Bride’s backyard in Bluemont, Virginia. –
located in the country, in the Blue Ridge Mountains. The theme was vintage/rustic/country fair. The ceremony was going to be taking place in front of a tree,
with the guests seated on natural oak benches and the ceremony was going to be decorated with lanterns, string lights, candles, and paper chains made out of old
books. The couple has a love for literature and so we added a 'buy on get one half off' coupon for a used book store. The couple also has a love for music so we added an advertisement for the groom's band: 'Baby vs. Rhino'. We also added vintage pictures of a phonograph, books and a typewriter around their crossword puzzle to add to the theme of their wedding.

Kara & Jared's newspaper was very unique as they wanted to use their paper as their wedding INVITATION instead of a program. It worked out GREAT! They were able to include all of the details of their day such as the date, locations, times, special features of the day, their registry information, rsvp info and hotel/accommodation info for guests. I would create a newspaper invitation for another couple in a heartbeat as I think it would be SUCH a fun way of getting all your wedding information to your guests.

Brooke & Noah's Top Story really showed off the amazing journey of how they came together to their big day. They also featured a fun 'Mad Lib' section on the back of the program to entertain guests with a funny story of 'Well Wishes' for the couple and they also asked for an 'I Spy Camera Checklist' that would get their guests taking some great photos of their wedding day that they would then text or email to the couple!

Conor & Larissa's wedding was all about location, location, location! They LOVE Asbury Park and so they chose the Berkeley Oceanfront Hotel in Asbury Park, NJ as the venue for their wedding. They included 'fun facts' section about the hotel and also included a 'Best of Asbury Park' section that listed some of their favorites places to go and things to do so in Asbury Park so that their guests could explore some of their favorite places while in town!

Michael & Krystle's Newspaper Program feature many cute sections. My favorite section was the feature article on the bride's 92 year old grandmother who sewed the bride's veil. They also included a 'Death of a Bachelor' section on the groom as well as a 'Pet Contest Winner' section for their pets. They also did a 'feature' section on their cake decorator to highlight this person who helped make their day special. This program truly showed off the couple's personalities and was also a special tribute to those that contributed to their day.

Tiffany and Doug's wedding was BALTIMORE theme all the way! They are a sport loving couple, so of course we included a funny sports advertisement for their favorite team against the 'Plain Spicy Chicken VIII' team! They also included an 'ask the experts' section where they marriage advice quotes from their friends and family to place in the article. They used lyrics from a favorite song in their quote section which really added to the unique flare of their program.

Brenda and Paul's wedding was being held at the stunning Museum of Art on the ocean front in Long Beach, California. They featured their lovely engagement photos throughout their program and included a unique 'World Travel' section all about where they were going on their honeymoon, to Peru, and some amazing facts about that country to share with their guests!They were also able to include the Spanish translation of their 'thank you message' for all of the Spanish speaking guests at their wedding.

I have created a lot of neat custom sections for various clients over the last little while so I thought I would share some 'Idea Pages' with you to give you inspiration for the types of sections you can include in your Mini Newspaper Wedding Program.

I look forward to working with you to create a custom Mini Newspaper Wedding Program for your big day!

Elements of our wedding day!

Collage of Our Engagement Photos:

I finally put together a collage of our own engagement photos. I am always making them for other couples but never us. I am thinking about getting it custom framed (when frame go half price at Michales) and then doing the same square format of our wedding photos. They will be nice custom pieces for on the wall at home and I like that you can show multiple photos at once (instead of choosing just one!)

Our Wedding Movie Poster!

My friend Jenn took this photo for us and I thought it would be great to make it into a poster! Great for an online 'Save the Date' or can be used for a 'Jack and Jill' invitation/Poster!
